All that will do is 'possibly' let you know you have an email worm. Notall mail servers will send a reject message to the sender. Plus, theworm doesn't wait for a receipt before it sends the next email.

Outside of a good anti-virus application that also scans email the bestway is to hover your mouse over the link and look at the bottom left ofthe mail client window. If it shows a link like(http://www.ebay.com/more stuff here) it's 'probably' okay. If the linkis like this: (http://www.ebay.oofdnwelsiu9.com) it's bad.

Also remember that an email worm is only one type of malware that caninfect your computer.

We're about:

Welcome to the Peninsula Boomer Zoomers! We are a singles activity group for ages 50 and above on the Kitsap Peninsula. Our members come from Gig Harbor to Port Angeles and all points in between. Our goal is to get out and play with other singles. This is an activity based group, not a dating service.

Some of the activities we have done together include: dinner, movies, hiking, camping, traveling, parties, playing cards, dancing, bike riding, wine tasting, museums, bowling, mini golf, rafting, kayaking, boating, coffee, plays, outdoor concerts, indoor concerts.....you name it, the sky is the limit! Members are encouraged to suggest and host events. The $15 we charge for the Holiday potluck in December covers the cost for the website and other meet up expenses.

We request you post a picture of yourself, so we know what you look like when you come to an event and answer a couple simple questions to give us an idea about yourself. (Your membership will be declined if you leave your profile blank and may be declined if you live on the Seattle side of the water)

We have been a meet up group for nine years and during this time we have developed friendships, relationships and bonds among our members. We have supported one another through illnesses, family deaths, weddings, and grand children. Our membership is primarily singles along with several couples who have met one another through our group as well as three couples who have married fellow group members. It goes to show that anything can happen. We invite you to join “The Family” and have some fun!
